Frequently Asked Questions!!!


  1. - I live off campus and use cable to connect to the internet. Is there is a way that I can remain logged into Elvis without being timed out?
    If you're using telnet, stop and start using ssh. If you're using ssh you'll want to enable a periodic SSH protocol No-op every few minutes. The problem isn't with your client or Elvis timing you out, but the firewall(s) in between eventually time out the TCP sessions unless they see traffic. The method by which you do this differs from client to client.

  2. - I tried to connect Outlook XP from home to Elvis. I tried both POP and IMAP server but I could only receive mail and could not send mail. Can you tell me how to setup the Outlook XP (and other mail clients) to receive and send mail at home using Elvis mail box?
    The message you're receiving probably says "Relaying denied" if your outgoing SMTP server is set to elvis.rowan.edu. Your outgoing mail relay should be your ISPs smtp server. Also, your ISPs outgoing relay should allow you to send mail as userid@elvis.rowan.edu.

  3. - I'm graduating this semester and I was wondering if I would be able to keep my Elvis account even though I won't be here anymore?
    As a student, once you have not been registered for any two consecutive semesters, this account will be audited and removed. You will receive a notice via email 30 days prior to your account removal.

  4. - How do I change my MySQL account password?
    SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('new_password');
